People who oppose hunting, usually don't understand the dynamics of a wild animal population in an ares where there is a large population of humans. Wild animals depend on the balance of predator and prey to keep both populations in control. In certain areas wild predators have been eliminated or driven out of the area, so human hunters must replace those predators or the wild population of prey animals will increase out of control till the area is overpopulated and there is a die off of prey animals. A large number of dead prey animals is not healthy for anyone.
